The Garlic Farm is a third-generation fun family farm located in the heart of the Isle of Wight. We have a small beef herd that exclusively graze our organic pastures. During our conversion process we have learned some techniques on maintaining fertility and biological activity within soil. The creation of soil structure at microbial level is, among other things, nature's way of engineering water-holding capacity - something that became crucial this summer. Encouraging deep, strong roots by creating long rest periods for plants by altering our grazing system has also begun to show positive results.
